I really don`t know but I sure would love to see larger pictures of your awesome TC. Those cars are just wonderful.
So why the rotary and with what pad/plate? I`m thinking of purchasing a rotary cause my PC just ain`t "cutting" it.

I guess i`ll figure it out sooner or later with the picture size. The reason i use the rotary is because it works so much faster than the pc. Dont get me wrong i love my pc but i can polish a car so much faster with my makita that my pc really has taken a back seat. I have the Edge 2000 pads for my makita. They work pretty well so far. I like the fact that they are double sided.

Why not use your Autopia gallery? 3MB storage space.
Optimum is a really excellent product, using an electron microscope, I was able to discern the amazing job it did on your car! ;)

You`ve linked to the thumbnails that`s why. When you insert a picture you need to delete the "-thumb" from the filename to link to the actual photo. If you right click->properties on your original photos, and then do the same on the ones I`ve changed here for you you`ll see the difference.

Excellent work! That definitely looks like the super wet and glossy finish you get from Optimum.
